From the album “Suicide Handbook”
Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus),
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works
best.

Verse 1:
G
If I could tell you something, I would tell you it allBut I don't know anything anymore
I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in

Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph
Verse 3:
G
I got a letter in my pocket and a pain in my toothAnd there's money in the bank up the street
I got a jacket that would fit you
a* b* C
And a couple of old guitars that I'd like for you to keep
Verse 4:
G
If you run into my sister tell her "Elvis is coolbut the Rolling Stones will sweep her away"
And money's always worth it on a Monday night

Cause on Friday she should get it for free

Why is it taking so long? (indecipherable………)

If I could tell you something, I would tell you it allBut I don't know anything anymore
I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
a* b* C
And I don't know what for
